Monday Night Debacle – 2nd Half

Posted: November 5th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 262 Comments »

Will I watch?  Yes. I don’t miss Eagles games.

Will I care? Hard to say.

I’m down right now. This is so much worse than I’d have thought.  3 points?  A horrid pick-six by Vick?  I feel like I’m paying for sins from a past life.  I must have been the Spanish Inquisitor or Idi Amin or Yoko Ono…someone who really did evil things.

This sucks.

    Seriously, what is going on? This team is so inconsistent.

  2. 2 the guy said at 10:20 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    They’re pretty consistently crappy.

  3. 3 A_T_G said at 10:21 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I would kill for inconsistent right about now.

  4. 4 the guy said at 10:20 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    This team sucks.

    I don’t know why. But barring some 2nd half miracle, it’s hard not to see this as the end of the Andy Reid era.

    Only good thing about this game is…well, there really isn’t anything. At least we can come here for catharsis.

  6. 6 bdbd20 said at 10:21 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Babin should be happy, there should be very few boos tonight.

  7. 7 J. Brian Anderson said at 10:23 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    It isn’t too late for him to throw the traveling eagles fans under the bus for not cheering loud enough.

  8. 8 phillychuck said at 10:21 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    BTW, that was a pretty unlucky P-6. Linebacker should have been called for holding, and Celek didn’t get enough of the ball even with being held.

    Vick’s fumble, was, however, horrible. Even though we recovered.

  9. 9 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:23 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    15 pass plays, 51 yards
    10 rush plays, 156 yards

    what. the. fuck.

  10. 10 aerochrome2 said at 10:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I rarely if ever stop watching but with early voting before work tomorrow, this game may do it for me. Sorry to the European fans.

  11. 11 shah8 said at 10:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Brees had forever

  12. 12 DarthBanner said at 10:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    no heart in this bunch, This feels like a 5-11 season.

  13. 13 bdbd20 said at 10:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I think you’re being optimistic.

  14. 14 J. Brian Anderson said at 10:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    It won’t ‘feel’ like that for long. Re-building will feel much worse though!

  15. 15 Brett Smith said at 10:28 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Does 5-11 mean the new coaching staff gets a good pick?

  16. 16 Corry Henry said at 10:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Seriously, put me in Reid. I can lean against the offensive linemen too…though I’d prefer to lean on the cheerleaders.

  17. 17 BC1968 said at 10:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Sounds of the seasons playing xmas music, very relaxing, wake me when the season is over, bill cowher is our coach and all will be well.

  18. 18 Colin Emo said at 10:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    That might be the worst 30 min of football in the Andy Reid era.

  19. 19 Brett Smith said at 10:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Wow. I had to refresh my browser to realize we had started a new thread about how crappy the Iggles are tonight.

    I don’t have anything to say other than “Todd Bowles” was not the answer… oh Juan were are you?

  20. 20 shah8 said at 10:28 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    David Sims! One little good play!

  21. 21 lilmc said at 10:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I would never want anyone to lose their job, but Andy needs to go.

  22. 22 A_T_G said at 10:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    We hit their QB. That is a penalty, right?

  23. 23 TommyLawlor said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I’m checking with my sources.

  24. 24 Corry Henry said at 10:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    …wait…what? They can give us a turnover??

  25. 25 BC1968 said at 10:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    What? A good play?

  26. 26 shah8 said at 10:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Graham winning more plays

  27. 27 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    more reason to keep babin on the bench

  28. 28 A_T_G said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    My thought too. I would have sat him the second half.

  29. 29 Eric Carranza said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    finally a good play by the defense

  30. 30 P_P_K said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Miracle in the Dome?

  31. 31 doublgee said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Please oh please do something with this ray of light. Thank You Brandon Graham

  32. 32 TommyLawlor said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    That was nice to see.

  33. 33 bdbd20 said at 10:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Mr Babin, introduce yourself to the bench.

  34. 34 Eagles1991 said at 10:31 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Just as I was turning the channel

  35. 35 BG said at 10:31 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Draft Jarvis Jones

  36. 36 A_T_G said at 10:31 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    So, that is the play NFL films will show with the dramatic music playing, right? The turning point on the SB run…

  37. 37 Eric Carranza said at 10:33 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    77 yard td for jackson bout time

  38. 38 BG said at 10:33 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    My niiiggga djack doe

  39. 39 doublgee said at 10:33 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    DJAX BABY!!!

  40. 40 A_T_G said at 10:33 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Wait, what? I am speechless…

  41. 41 Corry Henry said at 10:33 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Oh good, the Eagles showed up. Who were those guys in the first half?

  42. 42 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    well look at that!
    isnt that one of hte plays where we have one guy out on a route that takes a long time to get into position that almost never works?
    hmm.

  43. 43 Khidr9 said at 10:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Thank you for those 15 seconds of not suck

  44. 44 shah8 said at 10:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I don’t want to see Babin.

  45. 45 A_T_G said at 10:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Okay, right. Now I remember why I watch this game.

  46. 46 bdbd20 said at 10:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    That play works against bad defenses. Good to see some fight.

  47. 47 BC1968 said at 10:35 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I can stop moping for a little bit I guess

  48. 48 doublgee said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Cmon Spags! Hook us up!

  49. 49 Corry Henry said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    HOLY SHIT!

  50. 50 Ark87 said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Full out depression postponed until further notice…

  51. 51 Eric Carranza said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    wow

  52. 52 Corry Henry said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    AND CHRIS POLK MADE A PLAY TOO?!

  53. 53 BG said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    WTF AHHAHAH

  54. 54 BC1968 said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Now we are cooking with oil

  55. 55 A_T_G said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Umm, wa, that was… ummm…

    Wow.

  56. 56 shah8 said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Sweet, sweet, good luck…

  57. 57 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    oh. my. god.
    a good ST play??? holy crap.

  58. 58 lilmc said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Wow. Come on!! Lets go.

  59. 59 bdbd20 said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Wow, a team with less discipline than us!

  60. 60 aerochrome2 said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Cut polk, eh tommy? Maybe he reads the blog

  61. 61 nicolajNN said at 10:36 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Well then…

  62. 62 doublgee said at 10:37 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    WHEWWWWW! Chris Polk on ST Tommy! How’s that?!

  63. 63 TommyLawlor said at 10:37 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Huge.

  64. 64 BG said at 10:37 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    About to be 17-21. New game folks

  65. 65 Corry Henry said at 10:38 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Andy Reid must have went to all 53 guys and ripped each one a new asshole during half time.

  66. 66 BC1968 said at 10:38 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Fuck

  67. 67 TommyLawlor said at 10:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Terrible series.

  68. 68 Eric Carranza said at 10:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    y call 3 pass plays in a row when our running game is doing good

  69. 69 Corry Henry said at 10:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Just when I was feeling good.

  70. 70 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    omg. why are we trying to pass the ball…. and why do we have 5 WRs from the 6 yard line?? i guess i shouldnt be surprised with the sack there…

  71. 71 DarthBanner said at 10:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Our incredibly terrible red zone playcalling burns us again.

  72. 72 BG said at 10:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Lets just try to score from outside the RZ only

  73. 73 DarthBanner said at 10:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    What terrible playcalling. Marty should be fired right now.

  74. 74 doublgee said at 10:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I’m Doublgee, and I approve this message

  75. 75 Corry Henry said at 10:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Why in the f*** do we insist on running no back sets? As soon as the defense sees it they crowd the line. EVERYONE can see the blitz coming.

  76. 76 Allen3000 said at 10:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Seriously, Andy. How hard is it to just run the damn ball???!!! 3 straight passes from the 7 yard line. Unfreaking believable. AR is killing our chances of winning this. Just a horrible sequence of play-calling after a potentially game-changing play.

  77. 77 BC1968 said at 10:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Well it’s something

  78. 78 bdbd20 said at 10:41 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Can we just get rid of the empty sets? It’s obviously not working. Maybe they’re just that much smarter than the rest of us.

  79. 79 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:41 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    from the 7 yard line, too. i just don’t get it..

  80. 80 shah8 said at 10:41 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I have kept saying… Run the ball, Andy. Of course, all passes

  81. 81 Corry Henry said at 10:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    What is going through Vick’s mind when we go empty set and he sees 8 guys crowding the LOS? He has to freakin’ audible.

  82. 82 Ark87 said at 10:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    And then we’re reminded: oh right that awful defense did hold us to 3 in the first half, damn!

  83. 83 lilmc said at 10:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Come on D. Let’s get a stop here!

  84. 84 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    13 years go by and the eagles still can’t score in the redzone. And people wonder why Andy is always public enemy #1…

  85. 85 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:44 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    its fixable.

  86. 86 bdbd20 said at 10:44 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I can think of one move that will fix things.

  87. 87 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:45 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    lol i dont think thats what AR has in mind!!

  88. 88 Corry Henry said at 10:46 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Bowles is getting these guys in the back field. They just can’t finish.

  89. 89 Ark87 said at 10:46 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    holding these guys for 3 downs is just not fair, doesn’t matter if it’s 3rd and long, I’ve got no confidence…thank god they feel obligated to run to burn clock.

  90. 90 doublgee said at 10:46 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Turn that corner, wrap Brees up. Please

  91. 91 TheRogerPodacter said at 10:47 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    sigh. i wish this D could string together a couple of good plays in a row.
    instead, its one good play followed by a bad play to give a first down and repeat…

  92. 92 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:47 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Great, just trade fgs for tds

  93. 93 doublgee said at 10:49 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Our D isn’t able to stop them. Turnovers are what has us a little excited

  94. 94 A_T_G said at 10:49 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Sorry for the interruption, we will now resume the regularly scheduled disappointment.

  95. 95 TommyLawlor said at 11:04 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    What it feels like, huh?

  96. 96 P_P_K said at 10:50 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Trent is due for a sack.

  97. 97 A_T_G said at 10:53 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Also, water is wet.

  98. 98 P_P_K said at 10:58 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I didn’t say when. We prophets are never appreciated.

  99. 99 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:54 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    What’s that?

  100. 100 bdbd20 said at 10:51 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Maybe Spags knew something when he didn’t take the job with us.

  101. 101 doublgee said at 10:52 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    He saw a sinking ship

  102. 102 P_P_K said at 10:53 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Who was it that missed that tackle?

  103. 103 Corry Henry said at 10:53 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Kendricks.

  104. 104 Ark87 said at 10:53 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Kendricks…

  105. 105 Eric Carranza said at 10:54 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    dont know but pretty sure it was babin that stumbled in from of brees

  106. 106 bdbd20 said at 10:54 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    3-1 seems like a decade ago.

  107. 107 lilmc said at 10:55 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    How did we win 3?

  108. 108 Ark87 said at 10:55 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    by the skin of our teeth….

  109. 109 eagles2zc said at 11:04 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Used all of our luck on those 3

  110. 110 Ark87 said at 10:54 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    the way brees is moving the ball, Jesus, Bowles make some of those unpredictable adjustments, looks like brees is a rolling a peewee team

  111. 111 DF587 said at 10:54 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    How many times has Babin crashed inside after his stand up stance and whiffed on a bootleg?

  112. 112 Corry Henry said at 10:56 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I could cry.

  113. 113 BC1968 said at 10:57 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    join the crowd

  114. 114 K_Dilkington said at 10:57 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    ok, haha, that was a great play though.

  115. 115 P_P_K said at 10:57 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    We can tell our grandchildren about that one.

  116. 116 Baloophi said at 10:58 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Power outage on my street… and it sounds like on the offense, too. It’s somehow less stressful watching your team collapse online…

  117. 117 Ark87 said at 10:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    otherwise it was a good throw!

  118. 118 bdbd20 said at 10:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Vick looks like a defeated man. Get him out of there.

  119. 119 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    This team isn’t close to mediocre. They’ll be lucky to win 6 games this year.

  120. 120 K_Dilkington said at 10:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Boykin with the forward pass! Quarterback controversy in Philadelphia…

  121. 121 DF587 said at 10:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Bowles’ defensive calls are decent, players not making plays. Marty’s offensive calls terrible, no shot for players to make plays

  122. 122 double_z said at 11:00 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    he was laying down. to quote ricky bobby “that just happened”

  123. 123 doublgee said at 11:02 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Man….what a season this has been. Good thing it’s week 16 aye guys?!

  124. 124 TommyLawlor said at 11:03 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Hard to believe this is just Game 8.

  125. 125 doublgee said at 11:08 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I guess my sarcasm was executed as well as this game plan.

  126. 126 bdbd20 said at 11:05 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    As bad as this seems right now, we could very well be 5-5 two weeks from now with Carolina coming to town.

  127. 127 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:09 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Who cares? This team isn’t going anywhere. The Oline sucks, with an avg QB, no pass rush , poor tackling, bad play calling. Does this have the feel of a playoff team to you?

  128. 128 bdbd20 said at 11:11 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Don’t get me wrong, I fully agree with you. This team needs to be rebuilt. I’m just putting it out there.

  129. 129 lilmc said at 11:05 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Maybe King could just escort him to Vick.

  130. 130 shah8 said at 11:06 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Dunlap gave up that sack in 3 seconds. Less than three seconds, Vick realizes he’s in trouble. Abominable.

  131. 131 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:06 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    All day to throw finally and that’s what they come up with. Pfft…

  132. 132 Ark87 said at 11:07 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    This O-line is officially too decimated to function….

  133. 133 A_T_G said at 11:08 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Decimated is derived from the ancient Romans killing one in every 10 men for a poor showing on the battle field.

    You might be on to something.

  134. 134 Ark87 said at 11:12 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Didn’t know the roots of that word….cutting 1 in 10 of every man on this roster doesn’t sound bad right now….just once I’d like to see Brees throw the ball away because nobody is open

  135. 135 A_T_G said at 11:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Oh, just cut them… that might work too.

  136. 136 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:08 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    i dunno about that. we have 180+ rushing yards. the OL can do something right, i guess (i’m thinking its more the saints D, though).
    god only knows why we aren’t running the ball, though.

  137. 137 P_P_K said at 11:08 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Too bad we weren’t having any success running the ball. Oh, wait…

  138. 138 double_z said at 11:09 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    so who’s our coach gonna be next year? let the speculation begin… i have a feeling this is gonna be the coup de gras on the lid of that can

  139. 139 doublgee said at 11:10 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Cmon D! Turn that corner. Game is still somehow within reach

    we are averaging what… 17 points per game? i would guess that we are due for a late game FG and thats about it.

  141. 141 P_P_K said at 11:11 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Agreed. There’s a lot of time left. C’mon Eagles!

  142. 142 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:12 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    heyyyy babin got to the QB! lookit that

  143. 143 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:13 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    is that… TWO SACKS in ONE GAME?! i think this D is on its way up (lol)

  144. 144 shah8 said at 11:13 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    He got plenty of time to get there!

  145. 145 Corry Henry said at 11:12 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Was that their first punt?

  146. 146 lilmc said at 11:13 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Multi-Sack Game!!

  147. 147 TommyLawlor said at 11:19 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Little victories.

  148. 148 lilmc said at 11:20 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I will take whatever we can get bro.

  149. 149 Ark87 said at 11:14 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    God the Eagles are just stringing us along! Going to tear down the field, get inside the 10, take a sack, throw a ball away, then throw a ball through the upright in submission to the inevitable field goal

    Shady will brilliantly waltz into the endzone 3 times….as a decoy uhg

  150. 150 doublgee said at 11:19 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Makes you wonder if it’s the playcalling or the execution, or the some of both. Could it be the lack of understanding of what the issues are by Coach Reid? I wish we could all understand. It’s like Tommy explained…

  151. 151 lilmc said at 11:15 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Why can’t we ever run from the I-Formation.

  152. 152 Ark87 said at 11:17 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Because that worked against the Giants, and Stan looked like a stud, ergo, we will never do that again, until we play the giants again

  153. 153 TommyLawlor said at 11:19 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    You know the Eagles will score a TD here so that they’ll keep me on the hook to the very end. Jerks.

  154. 154 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:20 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Just don’t inside the 10

  155. 155 Ark87 said at 11:21 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    been saying that all night. C’mon Mike, just let me go, it will be less painful for both of us!

  156. 156 BC1968 said at 11:21 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Exactly i wish they would just take the blowout like A good bad team

  157. 157 Thorin McGee said at 11:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Celek fumbles. Are you happy now?

  158. 158 lilmc said at 11:24 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Is it that hard to hurry up?

  159. 159 Ark87 said at 11:24 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    any other fans in the league dreads being inside the10 yard line?

  160. 160 Ark87 said at 11:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    hey a penalty to get us out of there!

  161. 161 A_T_G said at 12:12 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    If there are, we should trade them Bell. He is great at getting the team some room in front of them to work. False starts, sacks, he can do it all.

  162. 162 doublgee said at 11:24 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Demetress Bell is this seasons Steve Smith

  163. 163 lilmc said at 11:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    2 penalties in 3 plays!!!

  164. 164 lilmc said at 11:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    and then gives up the sack!

  165. 165 BC1968 said at 11:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    perfect timing

  166. 166 P_P_K said at 11:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Truth.

  167. 167 zbone95 said at 12:08 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    nah steve smith was going through an injury and was barely utilized. Bell is the winston justice of 2010

  168. 168 Eric Carranza said at 11:25 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    bell just needs to be cut after this game

  169. 169 Corry Henry said at 11:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    This is brutal.

  170. 170 bdbd20 said at 11:26 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Is it wrong to just not care anymore?

  171. 171 lilmc said at 11:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Jason Peters on one leg maybe better than anything we have on the line.

  172. 172 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Bwahahahahah! Perfect ending to this shitty team

  173. 173 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:27 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I just have to laugh to keep from caring…

  174. 174 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:28 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    hahaha its so true!

  175. 175 BC1968 said at 11:28 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    at least they stayed consistent

  176. 176 Thorin McGee said at 11:28 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    The Eagles run more clock trying to come from behind in one game than most teams burn all season to close out games they’re winning.

  177. 177 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:28 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    amazing red zone performance once again!
    4 RZ trips
    2 FG
    1 Pick 6
    1 Fumble

    i’m speechless.

  178. 178 Ark87 said at 11:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    It’s just unreal….this is a problem we’ve had since the vick mojo ran out, and it’s not always his fault…just feels like a horrible curse

  179. 179 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:31 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    i wish i was keeping track of the plays that we ran in the redzone. i would swear that we didnt run the ball a single time once we got inside the 10 yard line.

  180. 180 Ark87 said at 11:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    early in the game we had brown bust a big run to like the 4, gave the ball to shady after that I think, brick wall. Next pass was the pick six I think.

  181. 181 sonofdman said at 11:35 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    First two times in the redone, we ran on first down. The last redone trip we did a terrible shotgun draw and a terrible sweep play to shady.

  182. 182 eagles2zc said at 11:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    We ran a shovel pass that was sniffed out pretty well

  183. 183 Ark87 said at 11:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    unreal difficulties in the redzone…it’s like a curse

  184. 184 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    This team is the bad new bears of football. Completely embarrassing in the redzone

  185. 185 DF587 said at 11:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I can’t even think of anything to type anymore

  186. 186 double_z said at 11:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    man, demetrius bell couldn’t block me

  187. 187 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    i can’t imagine that the guy who told the front office that they should sign bell to replace peters could still have his job.

  188. 188 Ark87 said at 11:37 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Well ironically Peters was instrumental in getting bell to come here. I swear Jason peters is probably the Arch villain in this story. Play Basketball or volley ball… or something, THEN makes us bring his terrible buddy in just to remind us how much we need him, THE FIEND!

  189. 189 Thorin McGee said at 11:29 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I have more faith in the defense scoring from inside the 10 than the offense.

  190. 190 DF587 said at 11:30 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Tommy, can you do a piece on who won’t be back next year?

  191. 191 Baloophi said at 11:31 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Think we’ll hear anything different from Reid after the game than “we’ve got to do a better job”?

  192. 192 Thorin McGee said at 11:35 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Seriously, what more do you want him to say? “You guys are right, I suck, I’m throwing Michael off a bridge and jumping after him myself”? This fixation on what the coach feeds the press after a loss is ridiculous.

  193. 193 Baloophi said at 11:42 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Yes, I’m ridiculous. I’m simply questioning whether he will say something different. I take it you think “no.”

  194. 194 Ark87 said at 11:32 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    There’s no doubt anymore, This season was over the moment Jason Peters busted that Achilles…just got worse and worse with each new O-line injury

  195. 195 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:32 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    i just realized that our offense gave us 6 net points…. 13 points scored minus the 7 for the INT TD… sigh.
    the D gave up 21 points to the saints. they are a pretty good offense so i don’t think i can be too pissed about that.

  196. 196 TommyLawlor said at 11:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Just said something similar on Twitter. D did okay tonight. Offense…mess.

  197. 197 DF587 said at 11:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    How many draft picks do the Eagles have next year?

  198. 198 Ga3T said at 11:34 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I know I’m young, but Bell is the worst offensive tackle I have ever seen. Even Justice getting eaten alive by Clay Matthews wasn’t as embarassing. Bell pretty much ends up on his butt play after play, when he doesn’t commit penalties… getting shoved by one arm pushoffs like he weighs 100 pounds or something. And he’s out of breath, are you serious? I’m pretty sure he can’t wait for this game to be over. But don’t we all?

  199. 199 D3FB said at 12:41 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    It’s probably up there with the Justice vs. Giants shit show.

  200. 200 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:35 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    anyone else think we are going to get some more garbage time points to make the final score look a little less like a blowout?

  201. 201 DF587 said at 11:35 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    NO

  202. 202 lilmc said at 11:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    0/4 in the red zone with 2 turnovers. awful.

  203. 203 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    make that 5 trips to the end zone!
    i feel like the last one shouldnt have counted, even if it resulted in points, but 0 for 5 just makes it look so much worse!

  204. 204 K_Dilkington said at 11:39 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    A throw away on 4th down, like this throw-away of a season. Chroichy!

  205. 205 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:42 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    someone else said it best: laugh to keep from crying. the end was just too much haha

  206. 206 Doctor Claw said at 11:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Celek has been bad in all facets of the game tonight. 2 turnovers were on his hands. I dunno what’s happened. but right now, DeSean, LeSean and Bryce are the only Eagles I feel good about now.

  207. 207 Corry Henry said at 11:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    13 points against the league’s worst defense. Speechless.

  208. 208 doublgee said at 11:40 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Culture of this team needs to change. No one can say that Foles could’ve done a better job.

  209. 209 eagles2zc said at 11:41 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I just want change, any change, at this point

  210. 210 shah8 said at 11:42 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    POSITIVE CHANGE.

    It can always be worse.

  211. 211 Corry Henry said at 11:44 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    That’s true. We could be Chiefs fans…though they actually beat the Saints.

  212. 212 Ark87 said at 11:45 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Against that defense? Not too much worse.

  213. 213 eagles2zc said at 11:45 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Not really. Lost to 1-6(?) Saints. Can’t score on bad Saints D. Can’t stop Saints awful running game

  214. 214 Thorin McGee said at 11:42 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Maybe not, but Vick is starting to look like Mark Sanchez. It looks OK sometimes, but overall he just doesn’t look good enough to play NFL QB anymore.

  215. 215 doublgee said at 11:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I agree…searching for answers at this point

  216. 216 Dan said at 12:36 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    What are you talking about, Foles clearly could have done a better job at RT.

  217. 217 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:41 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Enjoy the rest of the season gents. I’m finished with this garbage

  218. 218 lilmc said at 11:41 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Well that was fun. Have a good night everyone. Thanks for the chat. I am going to try to sleep(but will stare at the wall for an hour or so.)

  219. 219 Flyin said at 11:43 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Tommy,

    What now?

  220. 220 shah8 said at 11:44 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Admit that we don’t have an offense. Do the Shanahan dance and “use the rest of the season to evaluate the players”.

  221. 221 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:46 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    at the very least, he has to admit that our OL is playing like crap to put it nicely. and they need to start calling plays that fit with what the offense CAN do, not what they think it SHOULD do.

  222. 222 shah8 said at 11:47 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    the OL flat out can’t support an offense. Our single TD was from a totally broken play.

  223. 223 sonofdman said at 11:47 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    So we should sacks and turnovers, because that what this offense can do.

  224. 224 Ark87 said at 11:44 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    God this O is so bad…it’s like I wish I could just take it all out on Vick. How can we be THAT bad in the redzone. O Line is so bad. Skill players disappear in the redzone. 13 points! Against the saints! In today’s NFL! Make me ill, throw anybody in there at this point, anybody could score more points than that.

  225. 225 BobSmith77 said at 11:47 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Big part of the problem is the Eagles WR stink in the red zone. Jackson is too small and lacks the desire to take the hits in the middle of the zone and Maclin is just mediocre down here.

  226. 226 ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Exactly. Reid is more about scheme than players and you can’t scheme nearly as much inside the 10 yd line. You need big time playmakers and an Oline that pushes people around. No coincidence this has been a decade long problem for Reid.

  227. 227 BobSmith77 said at 11:44 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    As my friend who say, Vick is ‘psychologically damaged.’ Probably the starter but he looked spent several times tonight on the sidelines. When you see that look on athlete, it’s just a bad sign. Can’t blame him either. Randall in his prime would struggle to make plays. Ditto Vick.

  228. 228 JJ_Cake said at 12:40 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    Yeah, then RC left the Eagles to have an outstanding season with the Vikings. This is just a bad, bad, bad Eagles team. With the Exception of McCoy and DJax.

  229. 229 shah8 said at 11:48 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    The usual lament…We Need More Size In Our Skill Positions

  230. 230 BC1968 said at 11:48 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    are we going to be able to vote reid out of town tomorrow?

  231. 231 The_Reddgie said at 11:49 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Big Red gets fired tomorrow, right? Minionwheg, right?

    To (seemingly) go away from the running game in the second half is inexcusable.

  232. 232 TheRogerPodacter said at 11:50 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    from BGN’s twitter:

    Eagles get first and goal 4 times in this game and have -1 points to show for it.

    my…..god….

    His grammar is on par with his brother’s pocket awareness.

  235. 235 shah8 said at 11:56 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Would there have been a point to having pocket awareness tonight?

  236. 236 Baloophi said at 11:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    No idea… I don’t have power so I had to follow this mess via gamecast. Sounds like there was no pocket to be aware of at all, huh?

  237. 237 A_T_G said at 11:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I have been critical of Vick, but tonight the only pocket he could have worked in was if hid some Legos in his hand warmer.

  238. 238 BobSmith77 said at 11:52 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I swear I had flashbacks tonight and thought I saw Ron Heller at RT ineptly trying to pass protect. This OL is scarily similar to that pathetic group they had in the late 80s when a broken down Ron solt at RG was their best OL.

  239. 239 nicolajNN said at 11:54 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Terrible way to spend the night/ early morning. I’m ashamed to say I don’t care much about this team right now. Have a good night everybody, I’m sure it’ll be better than mine, oh and remember to vote!

  240. 240 Ark87 said at 11:55 PM on November 5th, 2012:

  243. 243 BobSmith77 said at 11:58 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    Most eagles fans will be at Stage 2 tomorrow and be angry as hell. I am at Stage 5 and accept this is the beginning of what we’ll might be a long-rebuilding phase starting almost from scratch last year with a new GM, coaching staff, and a new QB.

  244. 244 BobSmith77 said at 11:59 PM on November 5th, 2012:

    I hope Tommy didn’t stop drinking PBR and go straight whiskey/bourbon.

    This is a family site. Lets try to keep the language clean.

  247. 247 BobSmith77 said at 12:09 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    It wasn’t the worst OL performance by an Eagles player in a game but it has to be pretty close. Still give it to Nick Cole in the Dallas playoff game or the infamous Justice debut vs Giants.

    It would be funny if Mudd made Bell try to catch a chicken all week in practice. Certainly couldn’t hurt his foot work.

  248. 248 Cal Setar said at 12:07 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    At least Brandon Graham keeps looking better. And Sims wasn’t awful.

  249. 249 ConcussedFB said at 12:13 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    Tommy, your gonna need one hell of a film review to sell people that this is fixable.

  250. 250 BobSmith77 said at 12:18 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    It’s not at this point. Been quite a while since the Eagles have won a game they really needed to. Argue they haven’t the past 3 years.

    Don’t see what firing Reid does at this point but he is dead man walking.

  251. 251 McMVP said at 12:14 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    Dont hold back w/ Jimmy…Enjoy your shows…listen to all of them. Don’t hold back on this one. The half full glass that you drink from (and me too) has been shattered.

  252. 252 BobSmith77 said at 12:15 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    What happened to the solid LB play the first few weeks? Kendricks seems to have taken a weekly dose of downers and looks confused & slow to react in almost every passing play. Ryans has played mediocre at best the past few weeks and you forget the Eagles even have a WIL LB on the field half of the snaps.

    Never thought I would see teams avoid Coleman either in pass coverage but the Saints did tonight.

  253. 253 BC1968 said at 12:19 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    didinger and ike were talking about how the lbs are being exposed by offenses by spreading out and making them play more coverage and they’ve been sucking. I added some of my own language for your pleasure

  254. 254 A_T_G said at 12:16 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    Good answer from Vick when asked about his brother’s tweets. “I was unaware of that… that is something I will need to strongly address… I love every player in that locker room…” (paraphrased)

  255. 255 ConcussedFB said at 12:17 AM on November 6th, 2012:

    I actually felt bad for him there.

    Somehow, as bad as this game was, it still didnt feel as bad as the falcons game last week.

    6-10 sounds about right at this point. Maybe 7 if they win one of their lame duck games in Dec.

    What’s absurd, is our schedule is insanely soft….and the only relevant team in the NFC East has a killer schedule ahead of them, and they are sending up flags of their scheduled november/december crumble. Cowboys fans have to be feeling really good right about now. And Mike Shanahan was throwing in the towel!!! It’s absurd, the NFC East is up for grabs, nobody wants it!
